Covina High School Class of 1968

After graduation, I knew that the education I would get in college would be redundant to the Covina High diploma, so I traveled the world looking for enlightenment. In a South American hovel I learned the meaning of life, and received the notice of the CHS reunion on the same day. I left Lake Titicaca immediately and started back to Socal. Not wanting to impact the ozone layer unduly, I meandered homeward in a rubber raft. Now that I am home my environmental ideals are compromised, since I feel that there is at least a partial trade off between saving jet fuel and taking dumps over the side of a rubber boat.

I am looking forward to the reunion, and look forward to meeting the imposter who has taken over my identity in the last 40 years. I hear he went to the University of Redlands, met the most wonderful woman in the world, married her a scant six years after graduation, and raised three healthy children who have generated only one grandchild so far.

They live in La Verne where Diane works as a school teacher and the guy is a stockbroker for Smith Barney. Ha! Don't think of asking him what the meaning of life is! You'll be able to tell us apart at the reunion, since I hear the imposter has grown old and fat, whereas I have grown younger and slimmer each year. I'll send in current photos of me a little later…..
